These types of stories both fascinate and instill me with intense fear. Reincarnation, especially our situation where it appears that memories are erased, seems like a never-ending repetitive form of torture or even "Hell."

I used to believe in reincarnation. It is not the Truth. It's all a concept held in the mind that YOU were born are Alive and will Die. One must understand that One was never born. You are the unborn. Universes are born but not You. They are born in you not You in them. One is not an entity. Your eternal position must stand in the conviction that YOU, the all pervading, eternal Awareness are One in the same being. But not as a Human Individual. Reincarnation is Fraud because the entire Universe is a LIE, its an Illusion on your True State.
I will continue to teach my ATS brothers and sisters the Truth of their own being. Your individual body, your experience, your personal consciousness contains approximate 4 billion electrons. Each electron has 100 gigabytes of "memory" capacity. The life span of those electrons is 1 with 1 hundred zeros behind it. This knowledge is the key to understanding the entire mystery. That is why the destruction of the atom is such a formidable weapon.
This soul is your vehicle but it is not THE TRUE YOU. So all lies must be discarded even the concept of reincarnation wrong once you know your true identity. The Absolute Immortal Infinitley Powerful Awareness Ethereal Ocean is your True Being. Because Time and space is a concept within the supreme intellect it can be transcended via meditation. Dive deep into yourself and you will know who you are.

Everything is Mind Alone. Consciousness is not Eternal. There can only be One True Reality. If Everything that is manifest is transitory then we can infer that there is something that is immortal and eternal. The Unmanifest Awareness. The observer has never changed. The Natural State, "The Goal" is already there. The mind is in the way. The Ego must surrender the inner beliefs that it is the source of its own power. Then Self realization occurs.

He was featured on a tv show called ghost inside my child on the Lifetime network.
They had a segment that featured someone who died on the Titanic, a child who perished in the Murray building in Oklahoma City and someone who died on Sept 11th in the trade center.
Yeah, I did a thread on that show. Some great stories told by children remembering past lives.

To the OP, S&F! Great story!
For anyone who loves to read up on reincarnation, who is trying to decide if it's real, you should read the book,
And, for those Christians that are too closed-minded to even consider it, (I used to be one, too) this book answers a lot of questions:
For people just beginning on their journey of searching the topic of reincarnation, my I suggest the book, Life Without Guilt, by Hazel M. Denning, Ph.D is an excellent place to start! It's wonderful!
Thanks for posting this topic again. I think it's important to get this message out there to as many as possible.

Now I'm going to preface this post by saying that my knowledge of various reincarnation accounts is rather limited, so if my question can be answered because I haven't read enough of them then so be it. That being said, I've always wondered why reincarnation accounts never seem to transfer genders. Why do we never read about a boy living a past life as a girl or vice-versa? If the human body is truly just a vessel for our spirit or whatever, then shouldn't it reason that one can reincarnate into a different gender?

As a result of reading the Bible, I have also come to believe in reincarnation.
Edgar Cayce, who is reputed to have read the whole Bible every single day of his life, when asked about reincarnation in the Bible, said something to the effect of, 'it could be read into, and out of, the Bible'.
There is one verse Matthew 11:14, where after John the Baptist has been killed, the Son of God says a strange thing about John: 'And if ye are willing to accept it, this is Elijah, who is to come.' Note that even the Jews are expecting Elijah to return, and always leave a spare seat for him at Passover. I also suspect that Elijah will return as one of the Two Witnesses mentioned in Revelation.
Also the Scarlet Beast / Eighth Head from Revelation 17:8 & 11 from the Sea is described as 'who was, who is not and who yet shall be present'. This could be read as 'was [alive], is not [alive] and yet who shall be present [alive and well].
All of these, IMO, strongly suggest reincarnation...

Thanks for sharing your theory. I've read you posts several times and am honestly really struggling to understand what you are saying. Could you explain how you define Mind versus Consciousness? That might help.
Also, how does your theory explain the case presented in this thread? How is the "illusion" of reincarnation created?

These cases always fascinate me! I do hope though that we have a choice on whether or not we want to come back, because frankly, I would never want to come back here.
originally posted by: VegHead I'm reading the book Return to Life: Extraordinary Cases of Children who Remember Past Lives. It was published in December 2013 by Jim Tucker, MD. Tucker worked under, and is now continuing the work of, Ian Stevenson. I am skeptical of reincarnation, but keeping an open mind and seeing where the evidence leads me.

...Tucker suggests that quantum mechanics may offer a mechanism by which memories and emotions could carry over from one life to another ...
